Chapter 170 Summoning
"Yao'er..." Zhuang Yu spoke softly, but his gaze was fixed on the distance, where an invisible force seemed to be drawing him in, stirring his heart.
“I felt a calling, an… irresistible calling.”
A hint of excitement lingered between his brows, tinged with a touch of solemnity.
This power was mysterious and unpredictable, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, but a strong premonition welled up in his heart that this would be a major opportunity for him.
He looked down at Wang Yao in his arms and said softly, "I need to go see you..."
Wang Yao gently shook her head, broke free from his embrace, and said with a determined look in her eyes, "I'll go with you."
Zhuang Yu looked at her, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
He knew the trip might be dangerous, but he didn't want to leave Wang Yao alone.
"Okay." He held Wang Yao's hand, feeling the warmth of her palm, and felt a little more at ease.
The two walked side by side, heading towards the direction of that mysterious force.
The surrounding trees seemed to be making way for them, their branches rustling as if they were whispering secrets.
As they moved forward, the surrounding air began to distort, and space itself seemed to change.
A strange energy fluctuation permeated the surroundings, causing Zhuang Yu to feel a pang of fear.
The spiritual energy within his body began to circulate unconsciously, resonating with the surrounding energy fluctuations and emitting a buzzing sound.
Wang Yao followed closely behind him. Although she was a little scared, she did not back down.
She believed in Zhuang Yu, and she also believed in the bond between them.
The surrounding light gradually dimmed, and an inexplicable sense of oppression enveloped their hearts.
Zhuang Yu felt that mysterious power growing stronger and stronger, as if it were right next to him.
He stopped, took a deep breath, and stared intently ahead.
“It’s just ahead…” he said in a low voice, his tone filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Wang Yao also held her breath and gripped Zhuang Yu's hand even tighter.
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared ahead, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
"What is that?" Wang Yao exclaimed in surprise.
Zhuang Yu did not answer, but stared intently at the light.
He took Wang Yao's hand and walked towards the light.
One step, two steps...
They were getting closer and closer to the light, and the space around them was becoming more and more distorted, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Watch out!" Zhuang Yu suddenly pulled Wang Yao behind him, watching the scene ahead warily.
Just then, a deep voice rang in their ears:
"Who is coming?"
Zhuang Yu felt the mysterious summoning power growing stronger and stronger. At the same time, he clearly sensed that the spiritual power within his body was like a rushing river, surging and growing continuously.
He knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a golden chance for him to make rapid progress in his abilities!
He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, his eyes fixed intently on the dazzling light ahead.
As they approached, a faint golden light began to emanate from Zhuang Yu's body. This light was soft and warm, yet contained a powerful force.
The surrounding plants seemed to be nourished, their originally lush green leaves becoming even more vibrant, and even some withered flowers and grasses regained their vitality, stretching out their branches and leaves and releasing their fragrance.
Strange energy fluctuations emanated from Zhuang Yu and spread outwards, filling the area with vitality and life.
Just then, several dark figures darted out from the dense forest and blocked Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao's path.
These shadowy figures were enormous, with ferocious faces, and exuded a powerful demonic aura.
They are guardian beasts protecting this mysterious land, possessing extraordinary strength that should not be underestimated.
"Roar!" With a deafening roar, the lead giant bear swung its massive paws and slammed them down on Zhuang Yu with overwhelming force.
Zhuang Yu's eyes sharpened. Instead of retreating, he advanced and dodged the giant bear's attack.
His spiritual energy surged, conjuring a sharp longsword whose blade gleamed with a cold light, aimed straight at the giant bear's throat.
With a clang, the giant bear's fur was incredibly tough, and Zhuang Yu's longsword failed to pierce its defenses.
The giant bear roared and launched another attack, with the other guardian beasts joining the battle.
In an instant, the area descended into fierce chaos.
Zhuang Yu used all his skills to fight a desperate battle with the guardian beasts.
His swordsmanship was fierce and his moves were exquisite. Each sword strike carried great power, cutting down the surrounding trees and shattering the rocks.
The guardian beasts were not to be outdone; their power was violent and ferocious, and every attack carried a destructive aura.
The giant bear's paws swung, causing mountains to crumble and the earth to split; a tiger's claws tore through the air, emitting a sharp howl; a giant python coiled around Zhuang Yu, attempting to bind him tightly.
Wang Yao watched nervously from the side. Although she couldn't help, her heart was tightly tied to Zhuang Yu.
She knew that this battle was a matter of their fate.
Just as Zhuang Yu was locked in fierce combat with the guardian beast, the spiritual energy within his body suddenly surged uncontrollably, and a powerful force erupted from his body...
"Oh no!" Zhuang Yu's expression changed, and he exclaimed in alarm.
Zhuang Yu groaned, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
The spiritual energy within him was like a wild horse, rampaging and causing him excruciating pain in his meridians.
He felt his body being torn apart by this violent force, and his consciousness began to blur.
"boom!"
The ground beneath Zhuang Yu's feet suddenly cracked open, with deep, bottomless fissures spreading out like a spider web, sending sand and stones flying and dust billowing into the air.
The surrounding trees trembled from the powerful force, and some of the thinner branches even snapped, making a cracking sound.
A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, as if the whole world was trembling.
Wang Yao's expression changed drastically. She sensed that Zhuang Yu's spiritual energy fluctuations were abnormally chaotic, and she was extremely anxious.
Ignoring the attacks from the guardian beasts around her, she rushed to Zhuang Yu's side and grabbed his hand.
"Zhuang Yu! What's wrong with you?" Wang Yao's voice trembled slightly. She could clearly feel the violent power within Zhuang Yu, as if it would devour him at any moment.
Zhuang Yu's face was as pale as paper, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He gritted his teeth and tried to control the rampaging spiritual power within his body, but found it was all in vain.
His body trembled more and more violently, as if he were about to collapse at any moment.
"Yao'er...go...go quickly..." Zhuang Yu managed to utter a few words, his voice hoarse and weak.
He knew his current situation was extremely dangerous, and he didn't want to implicate Wang Yao.
Wang Yao's eyes welled up with tears. She shook her head, her gaze unwavering.
No! I won't leave you alone!
Wang Yao took a deep breath and slowly channeled her spiritual energy into Zhuang Yu's body.
Although her spiritual power was weak, it carried a warm and healing force, like a gentle stream, nourishing Zhuang Yu's parched meridians.
Zhuang Yu felt a jolt in his heart upon sensing Wang Yao's spiritual power.
He opened his eyes and looked at the frail yet strong woman before him, his heart filled with gratitude.
"Yao'er..." His voice was choked with emotion.
Wang Yao's spiritual power was like a clear spring, slowly calming the rampant spiritual power within Zhuang Yu's body.
His pain gradually lessened, and his body stopped trembling.
Just then, that mysterious summoning power came again, even stronger than before.
Zhuang Yu felt his body being pulled by an invisible force, as if he were about to ascend.
He looked up at the sky and saw a huge vortex that emitted a dazzling light.
"This is..." Zhuang Yu
"Watch out!" Wang Yao suddenly exclaimed.
A dark shadow descended from the sky...
Golden light surged, and Zhuang Yu's spiritual power surged like a flood bursting its banks, roaring and creating a deafening boom that echoed throughout the valley.
His originally pale face was now unusually rosy, and his eyes shone brightly, like two sharp swords piercing the void.
Behind him, Wang Yao's spiritual power flowed continuously into his body, like a clear spring, nourishing his meridians and calming the violent fluctuations of spiritual power.
With a loud bang, it was as if something inside Zhuang Yu's body shattered, and an even more powerful force surged out from his body, instantly sweeping across the entire valley.
The surrounding trees were uprooted by this powerful force, rocks crumbled, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the entire valley was shrouded in a golden light.
The guardian beasts were stunned by this sudden power and retreated one after another. They had never seen such a powerful force before, as if it came from an ancient god and was irresistible.
Zhuang Yu slowly opened his eyes, golden light flashing within them, and a powerful pressure emanated from his body.
He felt his body was filled with power, as if he could control everything in the world.
"Late Nascent Soul stage!" Zhuang Yu was overjoyed; he had finally broken through!
He slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, a ball of golden flame burned fiercely, radiating terrifying heat.
"go with!"
Zhuang Yu gave a soft shout, and the flame in his palm transformed into a golden stream of light, instantly shooting towards the guardian beasts.
"Boom boom boom!"
A series of explosions rang out, and the guardian beasts were engulfed by golden flames, letting out shrill screams.
In the blink of an eye, the guardian beasts turned to ashes and disappeared into the world.
The golden light gradually faded, and the valley returned to calm.
Zhuang Yu landed slowly, and Wang Yao quickly stepped forward to support him.
"Are you OK?"
Zhuang Yu shook his head and smiled slightly: "I'm fine, I feel great."
He turned to look at the enormous vortex in the sky.
"What exactly is that power?"
Just then, a beam of light shone down from within the vortex, illuminating Zhuang Yu.
He felt his body being pulled by an invisible force once again, as if he were about to ascend.
"go!"
Zhuang Yu took Wang Yao's hand and flew towards the vortex.
However, just as they were about to enter the vortex, a deep voice suddenly rang out:
"stop!"
